You need the code from the first button to return to the main loop:

on_button1_pressed ()
{
   /* better chop this long operation into itterations
    * in an idle handler.
    */
    g_idle_add (button_1_operation, NULL);

    return;
}

That way, pressing button1 initiates an operation that will go on
in the background while your GUI stays responsive.
(i.e. you might want to push progressbars etc also from the idle
handler).
